"I used to be a Jew-hater..."

Very informative.
= new reply since forum marked as read
some Thatcher, Kissinger, the hard RW nationalist/racist Sweden Democrats, Thomas Sowell and and newer plonkers like Kemi Badenoch (Tory), etc etc. He is a constant immigrant basher. He is a pusher of the RW meme that anti-racism is the real racism. A real self-hating quisling for the RW.

Can we be honest?
Sweden, the country that was the ideal for other nations to aspire to, the model for what an almost perfect society could look like, today has the highest number of shooting deaths in peacetime Europe. We have the highest rate of rape in the entire continent, despite desperate attempts to paint it as if it is an esoteric form of statistical manipulation and Kafkaesque distortion of language about definitions. Violent crime, theft, gun violence, robbery, sexual crime - name the crime and Sweden - SWEDEN! - is now, if not world-leading, then definitely on the medal podium in the Western world.
And the tragic thing is that everyone knows what the problem is.
It's spelled mass immigration, and it's individuals who look like me who are holding our country hostage.
Can we be honest about this? Can we at least admit that up is up, and down is down?
No, it turns out. We can't. Or at least not without trying desperately to find an explanation as to why it is the Swedes' fault that immigrants commit so many crimes.
After the 2022 election, I had dinner with a friend from Stockholm who is one of the country's leading personalities in tech and startup circles. He sheepishly lamented, almost as if apologizing, that things had gone so well for the Sweden Democrats (SD), assuming I would agree. To his shock, he heard how I had not only voted for (SD), but how many other immigrants from my generation had done the same.

This is a charade that became the norm in our political discourse with Tony Blair and Bill Clinton, and has since been adopted by politicians across all parties (the excellent American sitcom “Parks and Recreation” portrayed this persona perfectly in the character of Congressman Murray). Even though lately, the public has shown that they favour those who deviate from such pretence - think Trump vs Hillary (the embodiment of such non-persona) or Boris vs Theresa May – the virus persists with unyielding obstinacy.

It is in this pile of mud that Kemi Badenoch stands out like a gemstone. Suddenly, we have a politician who echoes Thomas Sowell’s great insight that there are no solutions, only compromises. Who openly acknowledges that we must brace ourselves for a period of hardship as a result of her colleagues’ short-sightism, instead of promising the world and delivering nothing. Who exposes ridiculous, virtue-signalling initiatives like “Net zero by 2050”, by pointing out that none of those making such pledges will be in power in 28 years time, and do not therefore need to bear the consequences of their empty vows.

She does not apologise for her convictions, such as Britain not being a “systemic racist” country, or that children should not be indoctrinated with divisive nonsense like Critical Race Theory, even though she is bombarded with abuse on social media for it. Unlike the other candidates on the ballot, Kemi Badenoch does not seem to think that avoiding an avalanche of angry tweets is worth compromising her convictions for.

Many of my fellow “Kemists” say she is the best hope against a Labour resurgence, that she is the Left’s nightmare. Personally, I could not care less and do not think that should be why anyone vote for Ms. Badenoch. Rather, it is because she represents the only feasible alternative to the business-as-usual options we have on both sides of the aisles. In Badenoch, we suddenly have the opportunity for actual change, not just in leadership but in politics. Like Thatcher before her, Badenoch does not obsess about being liked, as if being Prime Minister is a popularity contest, but as someone who is willing to pay the price of being honest.

This is who he revels in (the Tory RWer of colour Kemi Badenoch):
in the effort to discredit what sounds like a sincere repudiation of former anti-Semitism.
"Don't trust the brown, culturally Muslim Iranian when he tells you that he has renounced anti-Semitism." 
Now for the next question.
Is he ...
- a farthingale? (No, that can't be right.)
- a redingcote? (Bullocks, that's not it either.)
- a popinjay? (Still not there.)
- a pettifog?...Yes that's it! Is he a pettifog?
at all costs in terms of a visit.
I remember that. 
need to red it!
